Over 50 people joined in with the annual Barrow Racers event in Ammanford on Saturday, July 15.

The event organised by Nick Francis and Chris Madge raised £407.10 on the day which will be donated to LATCH children's cancer charity.

The winners of the event were the Commando's team.

Nick said: "We had just over 50 people turn up to face the elements and they stuck with it through it all, even with the horrible rain we had."

This year marked the eleventh anniversary of the real life wacky racers event.

The Annual Charity Wheelbarrow Race, otherwise known as the Barrow Racers, is a six-mile bar crawl event where teams of two dress up in the their best fancy dress costumes and take it in turns to push each other in a wheelbarrow for the duration of the competition.

The route begins at Amman United RFC in Glanaman and stretches down to Ammanford and then eventually return back to the Amman United ground.

The teams involved all fundraise collectively on the way down and then on the way back the real race begins.

Although it is not all as it seems as the racers must stop off at a total of 11 bars on the way down and back where they must drink a pint in order to progress.
